Author	Topic: looking for all-season tires that perform well on the snow
Agnes Associate Member	posted September 07, 2001 05:57 PM I'm looking for a set of all-season tires for BMW 328i that will perform well on the snow. The stock Michelin Energy MXV4 did badly on the snow, so I would like to find something else equivalent or better with H or V speed ratings. Thanks. IP: Logged

Also check out Nokian tires. They're touted as being excellent in the snow. I'd get a set but none are made in my size. IP: Logged

I live in southern California and go skiing almost every weekend during winter. So I would prefer having all-season tires and not having to change to snow tires just for weekend skiing. Do you have any other suggestions? IP: Logged
donfromnaples unregistered	posted September 10, 2001 01:40 PM I have recommended these tires to some others here on this board. The Goodyear Aquatred 3 tires are affordable, long lasting, do well in all types of weather, and you can view the customer survey results at tirerack.com IP: Logged
Jay unregistered	posted September 14, 2001 08:33 PM I had the same criteria when looking for tires for my Outback. Michigan gets its share of snow, and even with awd, I wasn't too happy with the stock Michelin XW4 all-seasons. I went with the Nokian NRW which, for me, turned out to be the perfect choice. They're great in the snow and I don't have to swap them in the summertime! IP: Logged
